Hi-tech is one of the biggest if not the biggest behemoth of the supplement industry. Somatomax is a tried and true sleep aid and what makes it hardcore os is the phenibut. On label there aren't really strong sleep ingredients, that's why for me personally it doesn't knock me out right away after taking it. I do not rely on this product to provide me sleep when I need the sleep. It's more like next day experience kind of product which will make you prepared for next day's high stim day. I don't think it does reset anything in terms of adrenal glands or cns but it definitely gives relaxed chill mood when I wake up and I use only half scoop 7 grams, full dose is too much for me, can't shake the sleep next day might feel drowsy. Flavor I have is Snowcone which taste awesome. It's heavily colors and powder is always clumpy. I literally takes and measure the chunks to take the sleep aid. Phenibut is actually serious ingredient that cannot be taken lightly, since it can develop dependency if you use it everyday, thus it's recommended to take it once a week.

Ninja Zen is considered among the heavy Hitter sleep supps. Because it contains Phenibut. Highly potent yet addictive substance. I limit my Phenibut usage to once a week, even sometimes twice a month. My go to options are Somatomax and Anesthesized. Ninja Zen never felt like these two. It felt like usual, regular use sleep Supps. I have tried to give it many chances to "feel" the effects the other day but it never felt quite like hardcore sleep supp. Which isn't actually bad thing, for people who can't handle Phenibut well I think it's a good starting point. I don't like that Zen has ashwaganda, even though I haven't noticed any side effects from it yet I'm not a fan of ingesting that trash ingredient. Unlike the other two Ninja zen Makes me fall asleep super fast. 2 grams of gaba is a little bit extreme and gives me that usual weird gaba warmth and tingly skin, the last thing I wanna have before sleep is to get itchy, yet 5 minutes later I don't remember how I got out cold.
Xtremis Cartel always delivers hitter products with very good price and quality. Sueno is no exception. I have tried it two ways. First time 1/2 serving twice which both were great and 1 time full dose(whole sample pack) which was my favorite. Taste: dreaming grapes were nice easy to drink no bitter aftertaste before you wanna sleep. Effects takes every bit of 45 minutes to kick it but when it does you definitely feel it. Slowly getting relaxed and eyes becoming weary. Tbh I was scrolling on my phone against the advice of stop using blue light screens before sleep, yet despite that Sueno still made me sleepy and I felt like I how phone is getting heavy and my hands loose. I put the phone away and then I was out like a light. Didn't wake up though the night, there was no weird dreams, just fast forwarding to next day and waking up fresh not feeling groggy, as if I didn't even take sleep supp. Overall very recommended.
Blackstone labs is one of the most hardcore brands out there. I'm well familiar with their products even back in the day from Dust and Dust v2 DMHA pres. Lately they came up with reformulated version of hardcore sleep aid - Anesthetized. Which has a special heavy hitter and gray area ingredient called Phenibut. If you are a stim junkie you are well aware of this substance. Lately reviewers been praising this sleep aid and I decided to purchase one from Nutritional Supplements Shop. Taste/Mixability/Serving size- I got the Snowcone flavor. It's taste amazing, taking into account that sleep aid products usually hard to mask and make good tasting because the ingredients they have in it. 11 gram scoop size on the scale is well on point, powder's texture and consistency is very fine (see in the attachment pictures). Powder itself to get fully dissolve takes a little bit of effort than other powder products, because it seems like it has some hydrophobic like ingredients, but eventually it all gets dissolved and not much settlings at the bottom of the shaker cup. Snowcone flavor is sweet, enjoyable, with cold water it's taste like treat. No aftertaste or bitterness in the backend. Servings per container is 25 grams which is a plus, since some sleeps supps has 20/40 servings. Effects- I've tried this 2 times now, spaced out with 7-8 days. I went with 8 grams first and then 2nd time Itook 10 grams.Because of the phenibut being a highly addictive compound, it's not recommended to take it more than 2-4 times a month. Withdrawel of phenibut is very horrible and it may cause hallucinations and body pain until it goes away. So individuals planning to take it must be very careful and responsible with this. Both two times I took it 1 hour before the sleep time and it some very interesting effects for me. Most bizarre point is actually doesn't really matter in term of its effectiveness. I got strange tingles and itchy feeling in my hands and face, just like Beta alanine gives. But my skin didn't get red, I checked the nutritional facts again maybe it had niacin so maybe it was the reason I got it, like niacin flush. But it does not and there are not any other new ingredient that I haven't tried before, including phenibut. In terms of its strength of making you fall asleep I can't point out too much. I didn't felt like I was cold out instantly or faster than normal or any other sleep aids. But it's very effective to keep you asleep during the night. The next day upon waking up I felt like I need more sleep, I had 8 hours sleep and I went back to sleep again to get another hour. I didn't experience any obvious mood elevation like I usually get even from Somatomax's half serving. I felt okay, calm rested but no signs of taking phenibut. So I could say so far I'm not really impressed. Somatomax is still king for me. Some reviewers swear by it and have put it in the top spot in their top sleep aids lists. People are different so is the experience and reactions to it. I'll try it more in the future with 11 grams next time. Maybe next month to take 2 weeks completely off phenibut to gauge its effect better. I'll write review on Somatomax which is 20 servings on label but technically it's 40 servings for me because I use only half serving and it's way more effective than this product. Maybe it's a good product for individuals who wants to dabble with exotic sleep supps and not be overwhelmed with strong products like Somatomax which has double amount of phenibut in it ? To conclude I'm not to sure to recommend this product since I haven't been experiencing its full effect yet, which I use such products to get better mood next day, aid to somewhat reset my stim tolerance and feel high stim pres better the next days. So far it felt like daily sleep aids supplements and label and effects hasn't been matching for me. If it was a daily supp without phenibut it would be 5/5 sleep aid but because of the label and claims it's a generous 3/5
Transparent labs are well known for their quality products and Sleep & Recover is definitely one of them. Purchased this from Nutricartel for 30$ and it's the version that has Melatonin. It's only 2mg combined from two sources in the product which is potented version as Microactive®. Personally I never had issues with Melatonin and lag it may result the next day according to people who are sensitive to that ingredient. So I went won't melatonin, but if you are sensitive to it, you can order the version without melatonin. Serving size is 4 capsules.it's gelatin based caps with no artificial coloring which is a big plus, taking into account how unhealthy they are. Capsules aren't big, easy to consume. The pros of capsule based sleep aids that are you can take them with less water than powder, so you don't wake up in the middle of the night to go to bathroom. Cons are that capsule based products take a little more time to get on its full effect because it takes time to get dissolved in the stomach rather than powder is more quick to be adsorbed. So if you can't sleep and have to sleep now, because you have to wake up early, capsules isn't a great choice because its gonna take time. I usually don't have any sleep issues and thus take sleep aids planned for better sleep and recovery and 30 minutes to hour before bed time, so it will slowly give its full effect by the actual bedtime. Sleep&Recover isn't a heavy hitter sleep aid when you need sleep the most, maybe you have taken high stim pre closer to evening even at night, so don't expect to knock you out, it's relatively weak but gets the job done when you need to wind down, relax and slowly fall into the sleep and stay as sleep during the night. Next day you won't feel any lag or tiredness if you had at least 8 hours of sleep of course. It's a good product to take 3-4 times a week. I don't recommend taking sleep aids everyday. But it's relatively safe to take multiple times a week because it doesn't have high doses of GABA or phenibut. It's mostly based on Glycine and Melatonin. For the serving size and price it's definitely a good product to purchase. Sometimes I take 2 caps, the half dose and it still good enough.
